assy model is still referenceing older assy's that have had xrefs brok
(OP)
I have an assy model that is driving me nuts. When I open it in sw2003, it wants to open all the files that have been made in the process of making this assembly. Since every part in this assembly has "no" connection to any of those old parts I dont see why this is happening. Every part I've checked by opening and listing external refs, and they are all broken. the only reference to the old files is the top line of the external reference dialog box that says"Assembly: c:\xxx\xxx\xxxx\xxx\oldfile.sldasm" but under it their are no features referenced any more because i have broken them. The biggest problem with this is that at opening the file, I get 20 or more messages of "unable to locate the file c:\xxx\xxx\xxxx\oldfile.sldasm, would you like to find it yourself?" I dont wantto find it it has no worth to this file, and should have no reference to it either. Please help if possible.

I believe what I had to do was create a false assy of the same name & place it in the path specified. Then when the problem assy found it I simply deleted the offending assy from the current assy, resaved & the problem was gone.
